How to Apply for a Relief Grant

Support through the NALC Disaster Relief Foundation is available to any NALC member who meets the following criteria: 

• Applicant must be a NALC member as defined in the NALC Constitution (Article 2, Section 1(a)).
• Grants are considered only for damage to a primary residence, vehicle, or personal property caused by a natural disaster (e.g., hurricane, flood, tornado, wildfire, earthquake, or severe storm).
• All damage is subject to verification.
• Members do not need to wait for emergency relief or insurance claims to apply.
• If temporarily displaced due to the primary residence being uninhabitable, applicants must submit a signed, personal narrative explaining the specific reasons for and anticipated duration of the displacement.
• Applications must be received within 120 days of the date the disaster occurred, unless the applicant provides sufficient justification for late submission. Requests for exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the NALCDRF Directors.

Please refer to the official application for full eligibility requirements and instructions. Click here for the Application for Relief Grant.

REMINDER: Along with your grant form, please attach supporting documentation,  such as pictures of the damaged home/auto/property, a copy of home ownership, copies of bills or receipts, etc.
